Products

• VCF Automation

Issue/Introduction

Ansible based VCF Automation 9 deployments fail with Python Interpreter related Ansible error:

Host 'server.example.com' is using the discovered Python interpreter at '/usr/bin/python3.##', but future installation of another Python interpreter could cause a different interpreter to be discovered. 
See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/2.19/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html

Environment

• Aria Automation 8.18.x
• VCF Automation 8.x

Cause

Python version mismatch for Ansible Host and Guest Machine.

Resolution

The issue is not specific to Aria Automation or VCF Automation 9.x.

This is an Ansible error which raises the issue of the Ansible Host having a different Python Interpreter version than Ansible expects for the given Ansible version.
